I'm reading The Second Body by Daisy Hildyard, also climate slanted... but nonfiction. It's great.

It is great! My colleague at City Dominic Davies is a fan and has had it on a Climate Futures English lit module in the past. As it happens, I was reading a Barry Lopez book last night, and he had a fascinating idea: every university and college in the country (he's writing about the US) should "establish the position of a university naturalist", a final year student who studies the natural environment of the university campus, and then passes on what they know to the next incumbent, to create a kind of institutional ecological memory. A lovely idea... from 1985!

I've come to this discussion late, but wanted to ask if 'The High House' is on your list? It's climate fiction that feels like fact.

Wow, that is an incredible idea. It's reassuring to know there are people who are looking at things from a different perspective, and trying to do something.
